A Special Present

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire, feeling completely surprised by the sudden action, picked him up and walked into her bathroom. "We have to get some cold water on those pa-err, hands. Hold on, you'll be ok Ren." He had to be ok! She couldn't take someone like him to a hospital! Wait, wrong priority. Now in front of the tub, she turned on the water and placed his hand under it, careful not to have it going on full, but a gentle flow to help his hands calm down. "Ok, we're going to wash your hands so that they don't start burning you worse, and then we can start first aid, and then..."

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren continues to cry as his arm hurt so bad! he sniffles and whimpers as she runs it under cold water, the sensation helping for a bit and he really hoped it stopped soon. And soon enough it dide, the first aid bandage really helping as she applies some medication and Ren tilts his head curiosuly at all the medical stuff. Ducking his head into the bag curiously and when he pulls it up he has a bandage across the bridge of his nose and examination spectacles balanced crookedly on his nose and as he looks up at her he crosses his eyes and gives a very confused-sounding "Mewwr?" and tilts his head a bit.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire tried, and failed, to stifle a laugh at his antics, before taking off the spectacles and putting them down in the bag. "Are you feeling better now, Ren?" Any sound of affirmation or refute would be enough, but right now she just went with the idea that he was ok... and even if he wasn't there wasn't much more she could do anyway. So she hoped that he was feeling ok...


((GAH! This... is so... ugh, not much I can say.))

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

(so what? xP)


Ren sniffles and nods, mewling softly before licking Saphire's cheek, giving her a very large and bright smile that would make most people go 'aww' at, the face his little ears twitched a bit wildly did not help at all. He then sniffles and wriggles down to the floor, nudging the back of her knee with his cheek and bounds back into the kitchen. Sitting by the stove, wary of it it this time, and mewls for her, staring up at the tuna and fish that was now, unfortunately, burning. Ren's ears stooped low in disappointment as he sniffles and tears bud at his eyes.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire, trying to hold back a massive blush, and failing to do so, she wiped the saliva off of her cheek. This cat-person would get her killed of sugar-overdose one day! Though, when she saw the burning fish she let out a wordless exclamation, before rushing over to it and turning off the stove, moving the fish and flipping it over onto a plate, before moving the pan to a sink, in an attempt to cool down and be able to wash it. "Darnit..."

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren's ears droop as a single tear runs down his cheek, an almost-heartbroken sounding "M-Mewwr?" questioning if the fish was indeed burnt. As he sees it on the plate he mewls softly in sadness, his tail flicking as he paws at Saphire's like, jutting his lower lip out at her in a desperate plea for more fish that was not so burnt. Swishing his tail slowly behind him and he nudges the plate gently back toward Saphire with his nose. Licking his burn wound and waiting.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

(( xD Sushi and sashimi are raw, so... Let's have that!))


Saphire huffed, it was still perfectly edible, wasn't it? Still, she had plenty of fish on hand and some cold rice. With a small shrug she decided that it would be a good idea to make some raw fish for the two of them. "Hold on, Ren. I'll get us something to eat, alright?" There had been some sushi-tuna in the back of the freezer... and there it was! she grabbed the package, putting it in a bowl of water, "We've got to let this thaw, and then we can eat it." No, she was not going to react to the puppy eyes! Or, kitten eyes!

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren mewls up at her, waiting patiently before leaning down and sniffing the burnt fish. One of his ears perking to the side before he noms a bit of it, then coughs up the black charred bit and pouts. Sniffling and drooping his ears before mewring and sticking his tongue out at the burnt fish. Picking it up in his tiny fangs before he does something.... funny, cute and impressive. He bounds over to the door to the cabin, leans up on his feet and opens it with his hands, nudges it open with his nose, and then tosses the burnt fish outside! Turning around and smiling proudly up at Saphire before nudging the door closed with his rear, his tail swishing in hopes of praise moments later as he makes kitten eyes up at her.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire blinked after watching him do so, before nodding to the cat. "Good, Ren. That was a very good choice." Something would eat it, and probably wouldn't want to stick around after her walk... and even if they didn't eat by the time she left for said walk, she could always bring it near the river and leave it for some bird or something. For the moment she didn't even recognize that it was such a cute thing, though later she would. After checking the fish, she opened the bag and cutting it up a bit. "Just a bit, Ren, and then we'll have food. And it's fish too, so you should actually like it this time" So long as he didn't knock her over and cut her, because she had no clue how she'd handle that...

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren purrs widely as she cuts open the bag, smelling the uncooked fish and he smiles brightly. Biting his lip with one small fang as he actually drools at the thought of eating finally. His small tummy growling loudly in protest to the hunger and Ren's ears droop sadly. Ren bounding over to Saphire and he purrs rapidly as he circles Saphire's legs, rubbing his sides, cheeks and tail all over her to get his scent on her again. The little kitten bouncing up and down happily behind her as he cheers "Ice tray!" he grins widely. Proud of himself for speaking again.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Well, it wasn't an ice tray, but she really didn't have the heart to tell him that, as happy as he was at the moment. So she nodded, "That's how you say it, yes. This," She held up the fish, "Is tuna. Tu-na." Shouldn't be that hard for him to say, and at least she hadn't cut herself yet... no, she wouldn't think about that right now. Later, maybe, when there wasn't a very real chance of it happening to her. At the least she could finish... and there! Two plates of Sashimi, with rice next to it. She put these two plates, stepping around the cat-person, onto the table this time. "Here you go, one is for you and the other is for me."

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren blinks when she tells him no and frowns, tilting his head at the fish and blinks, shifting a bit in place and purring as she sets the food down. He hops into his chair and sniffs the fish, bracing his hands on the table as he leans over the food and hums "Mmmm..." pleasantly, purring and his tail frizzes out a bit. He looks up at Saphire, his tail swishing pleasantly as he chirps "Tewna!" Before utterly devouring the fish in a feat of eating that would put most champion hot-dog eaters to shame. When Ren finishes, in mere seconds, he hiccups and his ears do a little... jump before lowering again and he smiles brightly at Saphire. Rice absolutely covering his cheek as he hops up and down in his chair chanting "Tew-na! Tewn-na! Tew-na! Mew-Mewwr!!"

 

[SaphireTsuki]

She blushed, trying not to think about why adorable things always seemed to get past her defenses... and managed to sigh. "Are you still hungry?" At least he was talking more, and in time he'd become able to do so with most of the cat-like noises not getting in the way, she hoped. In the end she'd only eaten half of what she'd set aside for herself, just not feeling hungry, so if he said yes, then she'd let him have what was left. The rest would be for lunch, or dinner.... I wonder if he likes things other than fish.

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren purrs pleasantly, licking the back of his hand in much the same way a cat would clean themselves before his eyes widen and he spies her food. Ren drops from the chair and is gone beneath the table in seconds. The table shuddering as Ren forces his way up between Saphire's legs and climbs onto her lap, sitting on her lap before purring loudly and begins eating her plate as well with his eyes closed, his ears standing up and giving an occasional happy twitch and shudder. His tail swishing quickly, batting at her nose, face, tummy.... well.. everywhere. He seemed to get very excited over tuna for obvious reasons.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"w-w-what... what are you!" No, she couldn't hit him! It was obvious that his mind didn't match his physical age! Even if it was so absolutely embarrassing! H-he'd just... from between her... and now he was... "W-w-w-what are you... d" And with that her mouth got hit by the tail, and then her arms, continuing to do so each time she tried to talk again, though it was obviously all luck. Eventually she just gave up on it, feeling oddly empty inside...

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Once Ren was finished he mews happily, licking his lips and hiccuping again. His ears jumping up before lowering to his head again and he purrs almost violently. His body shaking worse than drying machine set on high. Hearing Saphire say... something he looks back at her, tilting his head "Mewr?" he perks his ears up and leans back against her, sniffing her cheek before nudging it and hopping off her lap. Sensing he had upset her Ren sits beside her chair, ears drooping and his tail timidly circles his waist. A small pouting frown appearing on his face and he nuzzles her weakly with his nose, pawing at her leg with one hand gently enough to know he was sad.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire stayed like that for a bit before shaking herself. "No, I'm better than that!" She looked down at Ren, debating being upset at him for earlier, before sighing. I'd rather just forget it happened. So instead she stood up, stretched, and told the young cat, "If we're going to have a walk today you better stay in my sight! Then we can... probably need to get you good shoes, or you'll end up with frostbite on them." For now she could wrap them in a lot of cloth, but... shoes would have been better. Expect her to care for a cat without giving her clothes for him as a human?

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren whimpers at Saphire's exclamation, flinching and ducking his head as she looks down at him and he sniffles, his tail tightening around him as she chastises him about the walk, to which Ren nods and mews softly. Looking up at her as she stretches and he slowly walks over to her, purring softly and hopefully, rubbing around her legs in apology as he follows her to wherever she goes next, staying close to her as promised and occasionally nuzzling her leg and mewling, trying to show how sorry he was for upsetting her.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

((I feel sorry for Ren, he's got a baby's maturity right now, and she's treating him mostly like an adult.))


Saphire let out a small sigh, "Come on... let's see if any of these will fit you." She didn't want him getting sick or hurt, after all, as he needed a lot more maintenance than she could reasonably give him. Once that was finished, and she was aware of whether he needed shoes in the next drop or not, she led the two of them to the door, careful to set him in something that would keep his feet warm. "Let me know if you start feeling like your feet are wet, and we'll head back in. For now we're going on a walk."

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren mewls and flops on his back as he wriggles his fingers and toes up in the air at Saphire, mewling and purring as he swishes his tail, wriggling his back on the floor as he giggles and nips at her fingers as she wraps his hands and feet. Smiling innocently up at her and he catches one of her fingers in his small fangs, beginning to nibble it as he rolls onto all fours and purrs as his eyes slipped shut. Slowly following her to the door and nodding lazily as he continues to nibble on her finger and purr louder, his tail beginning to swish quickly.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

She nearly jerked her hand away when he'd first started nibbling her hand, but after she realized that it hadn't hurt she just sighed and let him play with it. At least he wasn't trying to cut her. Once they were outside, in the cold snowy area, she started the walk. It wasn't anything pretty, just walking towards a river for the moment, mostly to see how he was handling being in the open air. If he did so well, then she would likely let him continue to walk with her about the forest.

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren does a little shudder as they emerge into the cold mountain air and his tail flicks a bit quicker than normal. Ren continuing his nibbling as they continue to walk, at least, for the first few feet. But once a butterfly floats by Ren's ears shoot up and his eyes fly open as wide as dinner plates. He releases Saphire's hand and mewls loudly, lowering his torso as he pushes his lower body up into the air, stalking the peaceful butterfly as he purrs and his tail swishes in preparation. Then..he pounces, missing the butterfly and swiping at it with his paws. Flailing and sitting back on his rump as he tries to grab it, pouncing at it once more.... twice... then it floats by Saphire and he all but tackles her and ends up with her on her back, and him sitting on her stomach. Purring very loudly now and giving her an excited series of "Meww meewrr mew.. mewrr mewwrr!!" he leaps off her stomach in a frenzy, continuing to try and catch the butterfly.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

He had landed on top of her. RIGHT on her stomach. That hurt, darnit! And of course, she was out of breath for a few minutes before she managed to push herself back to her feet, rubbing her stomach with a pained expression on her face. She still didn't have the breath to yell, or even talk normally, so she just let her dark expression tell the cat all he needed to know. Of course, he wasn't thinking about that, and at least she wasn't bleeding outside... so eventually she just sighed, trying to walk again.

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Ren finally catches the butterfly in his hands, sniffing it and nudging it with his nose and sneezing when it's wing tickle said nose. He whimpers, drooping his ears as the butterfly escapes when he sneezes. About to begin chasing the butterfly again until he notices the look Saphire gives him... and he winces. Lowering his head and his ears droop before he bounds over to her. Sitting before he and his tail goes still. Slowly, he raises his eyes up to her and his ears twitch as he tilts his head "Mewwr? T-Tewna?" he paws her leg, obviously knowing he was about to be in serious trouble.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"It is all well and good that you like to chase butterflies," Oooh, still hard to talk. "But be careful. You knocked me over, and then decided that it would be a good idea to jump off of me." Her stomach was still hurting, and it didn't seem to be letting up, at all... I'm fairly sure that my stomach is bruised, and probably my back too... "You are a bit large for jumping off of someone."
